“He employed me as a Karma-mechanic, with overall charms, his hands were then fit to receive alms” - Genesis

Ever since I can remember, I banged on things with sticks. I think a great deal of inspiration came from the fact that my Dad was in a band in the late 60’s, and on more then one occasion I got to watch them rehearse.
When I got my first set of drums around the age of 7, I stopped hitting the furniture. From there I never looked back. I learned to play by playing along to records – The Archies were an early favourite. A friend’s older brother played me Genesis’s Selling England by the Pound when I was 13. I remember borrowing that record and trying to play along… he he…Needless to say I didn’t do a very good job, but the experience certainly opened my eyes to a world of music that was a little more exciting and complex than what I had been listening to.
From that point I progressed to the rest of the Prog Rock pantheon : Yes, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, etc etc. I started to jam with high school friends at the age of 16 and did that for a few years.
I tried out for a band called “Crisis” in the summer of 1980, and got “hired” pretty much on the spot. Crisis became Tokyo Rose (Mk II ) and we played together until the spring of ’83. I pretty much retired after that stint, and played in a few bands for short periods of time over the next 24 years – until the call came from the Groove Junkies...
